Hi, Yvonne! Are you replying to me? My post isn't showing with your post in your email? Are you saying that Rebecca Powell is the 5th child of Anthony Wayne Powell and Mary Powell?

Dickey, Do they let women do the DNA test? I belong to other surname lists and in their DNA tests, they were only letting the males with the same surname be a part of the DNA test. My maiden name wasn't Powell, but I would sure like to find the same Powell family as my gr. gr. gr. grandmother, Rebecca Powell. I would think the DNA test would be the way to go.

Dickey, You mention a James/Rebecca Powell family...do you know what their childrens' names were? I ask because I had seen a Rebecca Powell listed in Rutherford, Rutherford County, Tennessee. She was a widow, and had a daughter who would have been my gr. gr. gr. grandmother's age, but in that particular year, they only listed the name of the head of the family, so I have no idea if her daughter's name was Rebecca also, or not. You see, my gr. gr. gr. grandmother's maiden name was Rebecca Powell and she was born in Tennessee in about the year 1806. I haven't had a great deal of luck finding many Rebecca Powell leads to go on, but this particular one seemed likely. I am caucasian and so was this family. It is late at night or I would pull out my file and see what year this census was taken, but I thought I would ask you what you know of the James/Rebecca Powell family that you mention. Thanks!

Yes, we have been in contact before, so I probably sent it to you. ~Yvonne

She was on a census. 5th child of Anthony Wayne POWELL & Mary POWELL. ~Yvonne

Yes, it is interesting that your Daniel Powell went to Rhea Co TN. My James Powell left Rhea in 1832 for Blount. I have some info on a Scott Powell family who were in Rhea @1820, lived in the part that became Meigs Co. in 1836. That family was in Meigs/Rhea for several years later. So far I have not made any connections. Perhaps Daniel had "cousins" up in Rhea/Meigs? I believe I will do the Powell DNA test.

Add [James] Riley Powell b 1815 & wife Harriett [Adams?] that were in Gilmer/Pickens Co., GA 1840/1850 to this Abraham question link. You'll be amazed at the results of the DNA tests. Suggest taking the 25+, not the 12 marker. I'm a closest match with the Gilmer/Pickens Dover and still closely related to others (all the same, but confusing to explain). Now there are as many as 4 or 5 Dover families. That was astounding. Not bad when I can't prove anything in concrete before 1850 in Alabama and the other hunches/ research now connect back to ca 1750 in NC.

If I were a betting person, I'd bet the Y-Chromosome DNA test could help show if there was a possible relationship between these families. In fact, that is the whole idea behind the DNA testing.

Hi Jane, Not familiar with your Powell line, but I would say it is possible that this is the same person. Someone probably did a guess on his date of birth . From the looks of things, he could have married Nancy Lou about 1831 then moved to Alabama where something happened to her and he remarried Eleanor in 1848. Just a possibility. Did you look at the Census for 1850 to see how many children are living with him and Eleanor......or if the earlier children are living somewhere else with other members of the families? I have been amazed to turn up a few 2nd or 3rd marriages that I wouldn't have thought possible. Found one last night that surprised the devil out of me and they had her birthdate off by several years.

Abraham is in the 1860 Winston Co AL census, age 70, with wife Nancy and children Miles, Sarah. Next to him is a son J. Newton Powell, and on the other side is John B. Powell, age 36, with wife Dovey, who was of some kin. Abraham is not in 1870 Winston, but there are Pleasant T. Powell(son of John B.), Tillman(son of Abraham) and John B., age 47. The "B" was for Byrd. Also there is an Abraham W. Powell, age 42, wife Nancy L. and several children. Anthony Powell is in the 1870 Blount census, age 56, b. SC, with wife Eleander, children George, Mary, John and Nancy. Anthony Wayne Powell was the first child of George Powell(son of James/Rebecca). He and Eleanor also in 1850 Blount as A.W. Powell, age 37, Eleanor, 26 and George 1/12. George listed as his father in Owens Biography and also on Ken Sims website. What we have here are 3-4 Powell family groups in the Blount/Winston/Cullman area of AL. The Abraham W. Powell family, James/Rebecca Powell, my group-James and Mazdy Murphree Powell- and John Byrd Powell, who may be connected to Abraham W. It would certainly open up a lot of doors if they could be tied together; they seem to have originally came from the Pendleton Dist. SC area. Dickey L. Powell

Powell listed above is my family but I still don't have "positive proof" about the Nancy Lou Mulkey marriage. Where did you get your information on that? Also, this Abraham W. Powell was married twice. I don't have my notes in front of me now but I did have a website that listed miscellaneous notes (and the source of those notes) on this Abraham W. Powell. I'm descended from his son, Miles Jean Jemison James Jefferson Aflred Ledlow Portley Powell. I think I remembered all of his full name--he was called "Duck." Rumor is that the boys did not have money for a gift so they each gave him a name. I'm not sure who the "boys" were. F.B. Crowe

I have 2 Abraham Powells that I have gotten mixed up. Can someone help me out? The first one is: Abraham W. Powell born about 1790 In Pendleton District, SC. Died 1863 in Cullman, AL. Married Nancy Lou Mulkey. No marriage date or place. She was born about 1812 in GA. They had 3 children that I know of: Jasper Newton born about 1832, Tilmon born March 8, 1836 and Benjamin Hatchfield born August 3, 1838. Second one is: Abraham W. Powell born about 1810 in SC. Died in 1863 in Cullman, AL. Married Eleanor about 1848. She was born about 1824 in AL. They had one son George Powell born about 1849. I have the parents of both of these as James Powell and Rebecca Bynum. This cannot be right? Please help! Thanks! Jane Foley Cornelius, NC

Jane, the 2nd Abraham Powell you mention is ANTHONY WAYNE POWELL also seen as A. W. POWELL and he is the son of James & Rebecca and he has a son George W. b. 1849 and his wife is Eleanor..... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Foley" <mjfent@bellsouth.net> To: <POWELL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 7:24 AM Subject: [POWELL] Abraham Powell > I have 2 Abraham Powells that I have gotten mixed up.
